Your questions about bath repair in Chowdene
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How we handle bath repair in Chowdene
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and holes from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What else we do in Chowdene
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chowdene
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chowdene use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in Chowdene
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
